I have no cons about my procedure thankfully! I had a much needed rhinoplasty to help my breathing issue. Internally my nose needed a lot of difficult work to be done to help with this issue. It's been over a month now and regardless of all the swelling I know I am happy with the results even if it stays this swollen. Lets not forget the main issue about my breathing but I forgot this is what... more

This post is long overdue. My sister has been posting about our joint rhinoplasties, primarily about her 1st rhinoplasty experience with Dr. Grigoryants (post is under Yes. We Are Doing This! Finally). I am now sharing my experience as a revision rhino with Dr. Grigoryants. There was no being born with a perfect nose for me. Both my parents have less than perfect noses and lucky me I... more

Exciting stuff! Have booked my revision rhinoplasty with Dr. Grigoryants on Feb 19. I had my first rhinoplasty done in Australia back in 2007, with good results. Over the years though, it has gotten bigger and some asymmetries have started to show. Furthermore, my breathing was never corrected so Dr. G is going to put some grafts in and open up my airways. Will post a very long and detailed... more

I had rhinoplasty about 10 years ago to reduce the hump on the bridge of my nose. After surgery, the appearance of my nose improved, but it was left too long. It left my face unbalanced, the tip was projected too far out from my face. Over the years, I have developed a tip deformity, bossea that really started to bother me. My breathing needs improvement too, my nose feels constantly stuffy. I... more

2 years ago I opted for a closed procedure rhinoplasty to file down a "bump" on my bridge that had bothered me more and more with aging changes in my face. I also opted for some minor tip changes. I was fearful of doing an open procedure thinking the recovery would be more difficult and risky. Unfortunately, my "bump" came back (to a much lesser degree) due to scar tissue and I felt my tip... more

I had what was supposed to be a finesse rhinoplasty in December 2013 with a double certified Dr. (see my previous review). What was to follow was nothing I ever expected or imagined.
It has turned into a long, emotional, painful ordeal that I wish upon no one. When the cast came off, I nearly passed out from how swollen and hideous my nose looked. Instead, I went numb and my brain could not... more

I have broken my nose 3 times and had rhinoplasty once before finding Dr. Srour. I loved my first surgery but still had a broken bone, a hole, and never felt like my nose was completely what I was born with or grew up with. It was definitely better but still not me and I didn't feel it was very feminine. I was always terrified of the idea of a 2nd rhinoplasty especially after having so much... more

I had a deviated nose and I did my surgery when i was 17 in Paris, France with a Dr considered top surgeon there . Initially the nose looked OK but didn't look as I wanted or expected and the deviation wasn't fully corrected but I was hesitated to do revision then later when I reached my late 20's my nose looked pinched and not natural looking.Now I am in my 30's and I decided to do it after... more

I was motivated by the fact that I didn't like how I looked anymore in the mirror. I wanted to change that feeling and the way I looked. I had previously had a nose job but it came back really bad. I decided to go with Dr. Sadati because he had great reviews and knew what he was doing! Loving the outcome. There is still some swelling now that I'm about 7months post-surgery but the year mark I... more

I would absolutely stay away from Walden for Rhinoplasty. My nose was left unfunctional and I have been unable to breath since the procedure in 2011. She left me with a very narrow nose and pinched tip. Not to mention it was noticeably asymmetric. When I brought up these issues to both her and Dr. Sherrell J. Aston who was her mentor they were both dismissive, claiming my nose was asymmetric... more

I had my nose done three times over the last six years. It was very crooked and ugly. I carefully researched surgeons who might be able to help me. After several months of visiting with Dr. Ellenbogen, I had my surgery after the xmas holiday. Dr. Ellenbogen says I am still a little swollen but I am already thrilled with the results. Also, this was the only surgery that wasnt painful. I... more

I have my surgery coming up next week, which I will be flying in from out of town for. Thankfully I have cousins in California who will be taking care of me. I had a rhinoplasty about 5 years ago and I wasn't too happy with the results. For a couple years now, I've always wanted to get it re-done, but I always had that feeling in the back of my head of "what if it doesn't turn out the way I... more

About two years ago I went through a primary rhinoplasty to fix a deviated septum and make what I thought were minor cosmetic changes. I ended up with a nose VERY different than what I imagined. It took me two years to start meeting with doctors again to even reconsider surgery. As a lot of people discuss on the boards, especially with revision procedures, it's very emotional, and scary. I saw... more

It can be exciting- the promise of change or nerve racking when you enter into a procedure of one you have already experienced. Revisions are unique because now as the patient you have probably done more research this time around, but with so many doctors out there it’s hard to know who is truly good! This can add to our fear, because now we know just enough to be dangerous! You know... more

About six months ago, I had Dr. Nassif do an amazing revision rhinoplasty nose job you recently for me at your offices in Beverly Hills. While playing basketball I shattered my nose more than once.
After a couple of broken noses, I began suffering from a lot of breathing issues. The biggest problem I suffered from was trying to breathe normally through my nose. I made the decision to get... more

I had gone to many doctors to fix my nose. I had two previous operations and my nose was still crooked and the tip was still off. I was not sure if this could be fixed. Dr. Hughes looks so young when you meet with him, and I was amazed at how many operations he had performed. He told me that revisions were always harder, but he thought he could improve it with a closed rhinoplasty. The... more

I'm in my mid'30's and decided to meet with Dr. Sadati for a Deviated Septum/rhinoplasty. I've previously had a septoplasty with another surgeon to help me with my breathing but the results were not what I expected. So I met with Dr. Sadati to discuss my options. Aside from helping my with breathing better, I wanted to correct my deviated septum I got after a childhood injury. Those were my... more

I had a previous rhinoplasty by another surgeon, but I still had some issues with the way my nose looked. The dorsum was just not as nice as I wanted. I had what they call a polly beak deformity. Dr. Hughes did the surgery, and it looks great after a few weeks. I can already see alot of improvement. more

I did my revision primary for cosmetic reasons but I have noticed a dramatic improvement in my energy levels the last month, I used to be tired all the time, I feel like I need a whole lot less sleep and the dark circles I had under my eyes are nearly gone! They just vanished, I used to have these really dark circles that I thought were genetic and even tried rystalene in the past with slight... more

I had a problem with my nose, the shape of my nose was not a normal one, it was a kind of asymmetry. My left nostril was smaller than the right nostril. Also i had one more problem with my nose, that is, there was a depression on the upper side(place between two eyes) my nose. Totally it did not look like a normal nose. I was feeling unhappy most of the time, also i had a low self esteem. I... more
